Build Archipelago ISO (dev) / build-iso (push) Successful in 30m53s
- LUKS auto-unlock: initramfs hook + systemd service + nofail fstab - Rootfs packages: add passt, aardvark-dns, netavark, nftables for Podman 5.x - nginx: resolver + variable proxy_pass for external domains (DNS at boot) - Boot: loglevel=0 suppresses kernel warnings, serial console for QEMU - Container installs: write configs before chown, sudo chown for LUKS volumes - Container installs: build UI sidecars locally (not from registry) for auth injection - Bitcoin UI: inject RPC auth from secrets file, --no-cache rebuild - Secrets: chown to archipelago user in first-boot (backend needs read access) - Podman: image_copy_tmp_dir for read-only /var/tmp in user namespace - NostrVPN: enable service in auto-install, always include public relays - NostrVPN: read tunnel IP from nvpn status (not just config file) - VPN invite: v2 base64 no-pad format matching phone app - Companion input: relay always active, kiosk skips relay listener (prevents double input) - dev-start.sh: production build includes AIUI deployment Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Archipelago OS Image Recipes
Build scripts for creating bootable Debian Linux OS images for Archipelago Bitcoin Node OS.
Quick Start
Build the ISO
# 1. Sync latest configs from live dev server
./sync-from-live.sh
# 2. Build components
./scripts/build-backend.sh
./scripts/build-frontend.sh
# 3. Build the ISO
./build-debian-iso.sh
This creates a bootable Debian Live ISO with Archipelago pre-installed.
Write to USB
# Using dd (recommended)
./write-usb-dd.sh /dev/diskN
# Or use Balena Etcher to flash the ISO
See the ISO-BUILD-CHECKLIST.md for a comprehensive build workflow.
See the Architecture documentation for detailed system information.
What's Included
- Debian Linux Base: Stable Debian 13 (Trixie) distribution
- Podman: Container runtime for apps (rootless by default)
- Archipelago Backend: Rust-based API server
- Archipelago Frontend: Vue.js web interface
- Systemd Services: Automatic service management
- Network Configuration: NetworkManager for easy setup
Build Output
results/archipelago-debian-13-x86_64.iso- Bootable hybrid ISO image
Supported Platforms
- x86_64: Dell OptiPlex, HP ProDesk 400 G4 DM, Start9 Server Pure, and other x86_64 machines
- Build Systems: macOS (requires Docker) and Linux (native or Docker)
Installation Methods
1. Live USB Boot
Boot from USB, run in live mode to test, or install to disk.
2. Full Disk Installation
From the live environment, run:
sudo /archipelago/install-to-disk.sh
This installs Archipelago to a target disk using debootstrap.
